I just wanted to thank everyone that made this show listenable!!! So far I'm enjoying it very much & I'm not finished listening to the First Set. A New Years Eve show that has Keith & Pigpen plus Donna's first appearance. Bobby even introduced Keith as "our new piano player". So that in itself says a lot about this show. And from what I've heard & read this version is a lot better than a lot of other versions of this show. Many many thanks to those that went thru the trouble of making this version the best it could be. And now I want to hear the resta of it.
Wow, I just listened to "Next Time You See Me". To be honest I've never been a big fan of that song. But the guitar work that Jerry puts into this version just convinced me to enjoy it. Cuz some of that song he's throwing down!!

If March ‘71 and May ‘72 got married and had a baby it would sound like this show. Look below for gd1971-12-31.142681.sb-d.miller.flac1648. It’s the one you want!

Hey, this one is awesome... LOL Did anyone catch what Bob was saying about someone wearing a diaper?? Hahahaa

One of the best NYE shows you'll ever hear.

This is the best upgrade to this show I'm aware of and It's a beaut. It's lacking Weir's J. Edgar Hoover rap after Dancing...but you can find it on one of the other versions. The annoying hum seems completely gone and the vocals are full-bodied. They no longer sound like they're in a drain pipe. Thanks so much for the hard work.

This is the California preview of Europe 72

but a generous 17 songs.

I don't underestimate the power of her moxy!
The hard work and endless campus and small venue touring of 1971 delivers major dividends in 1972 when for a brief time you have Pigpen with Keith sharing the stage with the greatest rock n roll quartet of the 1970's-- perhaps ever..
